Following Lou Reed’s firing of Andy Warhol as the producer of the Velvet Underground, Lou tried to distance himself from the fame and “campy-ness” of the Factory that he once belonged to. The conversation described tells the story of Reed’s shifting persona from the glam rock of Warhol, to the storytelling of his albums, Berlin and New York. With the cutesy tone that can be found in earlier song such as After Hours, and I’m Sticking With You, Reed parodies the happenings of Warhol’s posse, as well as Warhol himself who was known for his long telephone conversations with his Superstars.
